TQALL WHoM Ir MAY CONCERN: l

1 Be it known that 1,"SAL1SION E. TYLER, ofvBeloit, county of Rock, in the State oi` Wisconsin, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in'Spring-Bed Bottoms; and I do Ihereby declare, that the followingis a full, and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon, forming a part of this specification.

To enable 4others skilled in the art tomakc and use my invention, I will proceed to describe its construction.'`

My improvement in springfbed bottoms, herein described, may be attachcdrto and used on bedsteads constructed in any ofthe known forms.

Figure .'l represents a side view of a bcdstead provided with my devicefor securing the rubber spring C tothe slat A, showing a section of'the slat A with the rubber-cloth spring C. The latte-r is secured tothe slat A by the clamp B and 'corrugated eccentric 6, the saidrubber-cloth spring C being firmly secured to the head and foot-boards of the bedstead by the peculiar-shaped clasp D and screws d.

Figure 2 is top view of the bedstead complete, with the slats A and springs C, as secured thereto, by the employment of mysaid invention, to wit, the said clamps B, Corrugated eccentrics b, thc said peculiar-shaped clasps D, with screwsfd. l y

Figure 3 is an enlarged side sectional view of the slot A, with rubber spring C, clamp B, corrugated eccen- `tric b, clasp'D, and-screw d.

Figure 4 isanV under` side view of the same. l

The nature of my invention, as already shown, consists in thc employment ofthe said clampsfB, combined with the said eccentrics b, for thcpnrpose of firmly holding the rubber spring C to the ends of the slats A, which is easily effected bypassing the ends of the said rubber springs C underthe ends of theslats A, and between the lower side thereof andthe said corrugated surface of the said eccentrics, b, then by drawing endwise on the rubber spring .C and slat A, respectively, and at'the same time, thus producing a rotary actionof theeccentric, b, by'which the rubberspring C is impacted with and firmly held between the eccentrics b and lslot A, as shown. l'.lhe rubber spring C is lapped around the clasp D, as described, which are firmly held to the ends of` the bed-frame, as described, all which is clearly shown bythe drawings herewith. What I lclaim as my invention, andrdesiro to secure by Letters Ifatent, is-' l The clamps B and corrugated e'ccentrics 6, as and for the purpose herein seti-forthrand described.

` Y SA'EMON E. TYLER.
